At under £500.00 there is a lot of bike for the money here. A lot of customers require hydraulic disc brakes for their style of riding and this bike has the powerful Tektro HDM 285 disc brakes that can stop you on a penny!

Whilst this bike isn't designed to spend its life on its back wheel in wheelie competitions for Instagram, you're going to find a more than capable entry level mountain bike to deal with all the blue runs and local forest tracks that is on offer.

This bike doesn't come with a lock out fork which we'd like to have seen, though this is on the next model at £529.99, which if you can stretch to, is certainly worth considering!
